About Us
The word "Ukai" means a traditional method of catching small Japanese trout by manipulating seabirds.
Sushi Ukai offers a sophisticated twist on the traditional Japanese style of casual eating. From sushi, sashimi, classic sushi rolls, bento boxes, and cooked Japanese dishes, our menu is focused on pleasing our customers. Our elegant, Japanese decor and friendly staff will make your visit memorable. We take great pride in the freshness of fish. Our Executive Chef hand-selects fresh fish for our daily sushi 7 days a week. If Dong cannot get the quality he desires or the price he needs to make sushi affordable for you, he will not buy it. Only the best quality at the best price guarantees to fulfill his expectations for the customer. Miso and ‘Sweet and Sour’ Soups are made fresh daily.

Originally from China, Dong began his restaurant career at the age of 20 after moving to Manhattan. While there, he learned the art of sushi from a Japanese Chef and proceeded to perfect his sushi-making skills in New York for several years before arriving in Chicago with a goal of opening his own business. Since his arrival in Chicago, Dong has operated a sushi restaurant in La Grange. He is excited to unveil his inventive and unique sauces and sushi rolls, which feature a Latin flair. As the Executive Chef, Dong admits that he draws his greatest inspiration and drive for perfection by watching his guests joyfully devour his artistic creations.
